Ingredients

• ✓ black licorice
• baking mix
• milk
• sugar
• butter
• candy corn
• confectioners sugar
• milk
• orange extract
• green food coloring
• orange food coloring

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Stir baking mix, milk, sugar, and butter together in a bowl until a soft dough forms. Smooth dough gently into a ball on a floured cloth placed over a cutting board. Knead dough 8 to 10 times only, as dough will get tough very quickly if overkneaded.
3. 3 Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the floured cloth. Cut dough using a floured 2-inch circle cookie cutter. Cut circles to form pumpkins; cut stems from scrap dough using a knife.
4. 4 Attach stems to the underside of the circles using a dab of milk and pressure. Place cookies on a baking sheet.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
6. 6 While cookies cool, cut licorice in 3 different sizes: 1/4-inch pieces in sets of 3 to form triangle eyes, tiny dots for the pupils, and 1- to 2-inch curved or straight segments to form mouths.
7. 7 Mix confectioners' sugar, milk, and orange extract together in a small bowl for frosting. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the frosting to dye with green food coloring in a bowl. Use orange food coloring to dye remaining frosting as desired.
8. 8 Frost green stems and orange pumpkin faces onto cooled cookies and decorate with cut licorice and candy corn while frosting is still wet.

Ingredients

• ✓ black licorice
• chocolate cake mix
• white frosting
• candy corn
• cinnamon red hot candy
• orange decorator sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare cupcakes according to package directions. Let cool completely.
2. 2 Cut licorice into 3 inch sections. Working with one or two cupcakes at a time, so the frosting doesn't set before decorating, frost the cupcakes with the white frosting. Insert licorice pieces into the outer edges of the cupcakes to make the legs of the spider, 3 legs on each side (4 takes up too much space). Place two pieces of candy corn on the front of the cupcake for fangs and use two red hots as eyes. Sprinkle with decorator sugar. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.

Ingredients

• ✓ black licorice
• vanilla cupcake
• vanilla frosting
• red licorice
• white fondant
• orange food coloring
• milk chocolate candy

Instructions

1. 1 Trim the dry top off 12 of the cupcakes and crumble the soft cake interiors into a bowl. Add about 5 ounces of vanilla icing and mix well. Add more frosting if needed to bring the mixture together into a ball so that it can be easily shaped. Cover bowl and chill cake mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Frost remaining 12 cupcakes with a thin layer of white vanilla frosting.
3. 3 Remove cake mixture and roll with wet hands into 2 different sized balls for the snowmen's torsos and heads, 12 bigger balls and 12 smaller balls. Stick a small ball on top of a big ball to make the snowman, using some frosting if the balls are not very sticky. Place snowmen onto frosted cupcakes.
4. 4 Cut black licorice laces into small squares for the eyes and mouth using scissors and attach them with the tip of a knife to the head.
5. 5 Mix white fondant with orange food coloring to turn it orange and make little carrot noses out of the orange fondant. Press into the snowman faces.
6. 6 Attach 2 dark colored candy-coated milk chocolate pieces into the torso and cupcake as buttons. Attach 2 candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on either side of the head and connect them with a piece of black licorice for the earmuffs.
7. 7 Cut red licorice laces into 2 1/2-inch long pieces and wrap around the snowman's neck as a scarf.
